7. especially Brother Sun, who brings the day through whom
you give us light.. 

8. And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor!

he bears the likeness.

10. Praise be You, my Lord,
through Sister Moon 

11. and the stars in the heavens,
you formed them  clear and precious and beautiful.

12. through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene,

my Lord,
through Brother Wind,  and through the air, cloudy and serene, 

13. and every kind of weather by which you cherish all that You have made.

14. Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water,

15. so useful, humble, precious and pure.

16. Praised be You, my Lord,
through Brother Fire, 

17. through whom
you light the night
and he is beautiful
and playful
and robust
and strong.

18. Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Mother Earth,

19. who sustains us
and governs us

20. produces varied fruits
and who
produces  varied fruits

21. with colored flowers and herbs.

22. Praised be You, my Lord, through
those who give pardon for love of You
